IF you're housing your emergency fund in your checking account (which I don't recommend), you need $1200 to $1300.


Since I have a Chase Freedom to go along with my Chase Sapphire Preferred, I have been thinking of opening a Chase checking account to stash $1,500 into.

Why?

Because if you have a Chase Freedom and a Chase Checking account, you get a 10% bonus on your points every year. $1,500 is the minimum you need to avoid fees on the account. Kinda wondering if its worth it for the money to just sit there being a portion of my emergency fund.

If you dig around you will find a $200 cash bonus offer on the checking if $1500 balance is maintained for 6-months, or maybe that is because they just like me as a customer.
